Life is not about getting what you want. As I rediscover Jesus,
one of the questions worthy of pondering is: “What does Jesus want?”
It’s a hard question to answer right off the bat. But as I grow in my faith and dive deeper
into scripture, I find exactly what Jesus wants.
“I have told you this so that my joy might be in you and your joy
might be complete.”
Jesus wants me to experience complete joy! That doesn’t mean that I will be given
everything my heart desires, but that Jesus desires all that I desire that is
good and holy for me.
He wants to share his joy with me.
He wants my joy to be complete. He
wants what I want. Beneath it all, at
the depths of my being, what is it that I really want?
I want complete joy. I want
the kind of joy that only God can give.
There are always two questions I wrestle with: What do I want? And
What does God want?
Over time, I’ve discovered that what I really want, deep inside,
is what God wants for me.
Jesus, please remind me when I forget that your will is what I
really want deep down too.
Amen.
